The ability to robustly fit structures in datasets that contain outliers is a very important task in Image Processing, Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision. Random Sampling Consensus or RANSAC is a very popular method for this task, due to its ability to handle over 50% outliers. The problem with RANSAC is that it is only capable of finding a single structure. Therefore, if a dataset contains multiple structures, they must be found sequentially by finding the best fit, removing the points,...
Show moreThe ability to robustly fit structures in datasets that contain outliers is a very important task in Image Processing, Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision. Random Sampling Consensus or RANSAC is a very popular method for this task, due to its ability to handle over 50% outliers. The problem with RANSAC is that it is only capable of finding a single structure. Therefore, if a dataset contains multiple structures, they must be found sequentially by finding the best fit, removing the points, and repeating the process. However, removing incorrect points from the dataset could prove disastrous. This thesis offers a novel approach to sampling consensus that extends its ability to discover multiple structures in a single iteration through the dataset. The process introduced is an unsupervised method, requiring no previous knowledge to the distribution of the input data. It uniquely assigns labels to different instances of similar structures. The algorithm is thus called Labeled Sampling Consensus or L-SAC. These unique instances will tend to cluster around one another allowing the individual structures to be extracted using simple clustering techniques. Since divisions instead of modes are analyzed, only a single instance of a structure need be recovered. This ability of L-SAC allows a novel sampling procedure to be presented "compressing" the required samples needed compared to traditional sampling schemes while ensuring all structures have been found. L-SAC is a flexible framework that can be applied to many problem domains.
